Britain's What's On Event Guide
All The Beds I Have Slept In
Phosphoros Theatre presents ALL THE BEDS I HAVE SLEPT IN
A bed that wasn't a bed. A sheet in the Sahara.
A charpai on my roof in Afghanistan
On our balcony back home, sharing with my brother.
A blanket in the rescue ship that pulled me from the sea.
After a successful tour in autumn 2021 that saw nearly 500 refugee audience members and multiple sell-out performances, All The Beds I Have Slept In returns with an updated version and new cast from Afghanistan, Sudan, Ethiopia, Eritrea and Morocco.
This energetic company of refugee performers explore the seam of kindness and care that lies within their experience of leaving their homelands to seek asylum.
From a flat in North London to the exercise yard of a Greek detention centre, beds anchor us to the various points of the journey. Supposed spaces of safety become transient; shelters are taken away without notice; and the route from one place to the next is fraught with obstacles.
This play is a shout-out to all the real people who kept the actors moving forward. It explores the intimacy created between friends when family is absent, and how to stay hopeful in a scary world.
